This feels like it could be in a cyberpunk themed game or when you're trying to infiltrate and run through a heavily guarded base. I really like it, it sounds energetic and daunting at the same time! I hope to create to this degree someday
you're extremely talented at writing, very impressive. the drums were so dry, try adding some slight reverb to them. i HIGHLY highly HIGHLY recommend you buy the $200 native instruments pack that comes with Massive and Drumlab. idk what drum vst you're using but i wasn't a big fan of the sound of it. i loved the little blast beats you added near the end for the drums. there are also freebies from native, you migth be able to get raum which is my favorite reverb, replika which is a good delay, and supercharger which is godtier compressor. you always want to compress drums/ bass and even guitars. (not needed for synths/pads if mixed properly) but a supercharger on those drums alone would of gave them a huge boost, and same with Raum using the (drums) preset. which give it a bit of life. you can use convolver, use maybe 25-35% mix on a smaller sized reverb for the drums, and for compressing give fruity compressor or even maximus a try. (maximus is stronger, but harder to use) fruity compressor has a decent drum preset. if you're feeling frisky the fruity multiband compressor works too, but you have to manually compress it, which isn't the easiest.
thanks so much for all the suggestions! i'm definitely going to take a look at them. i'm not too sure how many of them will work properly on linux, but it's worth a shot :D also thanks for the complement on my writing, it really means a lot :D edit: forgot to mention this, the drum vst i'm using here is monster drums with the punkadelic preset
@turbulence6 👍 the drums might sound good, it's just they were so dry in the mix I could barely hear them. I reverb all my drums with raum and compress them. Even the more fat presets. If you have convolver it should work well on Linux, same with compressor. Compressors don't work like you think, they don't compress the sound and lighten it, they as well can bring the sound more forward and upfront, making them louder. If you reverb drums make sure to eq out the high and low for reverb in the low sub channel is no, and same with the very high highs. They end up destroying your mix. You want to eq after reverb a lot of the time. Especially on vocals.
